Ella at two months:

weight: 8lbs 10 oz (5-10%)
length: 22 in (25%)

Ella is a smiling and laughing little girl. She is very happy. She sleeps from 11 to 6 on a fairly regular basis. She loves to go for car rides or be pushed in her stroller. She likes her bumbo seat, her swing, and her play mat. She is pretty consistent on her schedule, that she put herself on (eat, play, and about an hour after she finishes eating she wants to sleep). She loves her big brother and he is so sweet with her! We are so blessed by our kids!

New Years Eve:






This year Billy had some vacation time he needed to burn, so we spent a week up in Kansas. We got to see a lot of his family and visit with old friends from college. It was a great week! But, New Years Eve was so, so, so, so cold! We could not do much for fireworks because no one could stand to be outside! The kids got to stay up until midnight and do sparklers, so they enjoyed it for a few minutes. We also got to see our youngest neice play a soccer game and a basketball game. It was a great week!
